Improve the finish before redecorating

If old repairs, cracks or rough patches are showing through, the surface may need attention before you decorate. For Hainault homes, we assess the affected areas and recommend a suitable repair or skim based on the existing plaster.

How We Plan and Complete the Job

We assess the surface, discuss the finish and protect the surrounding area. Preparation is completed before plastering begins, then the agreed repair, skim or replastering is carried out and checked. We explain the drying period and the next steps before decorating.

  1. Inspect and prepare
  2. Complete the agreed plastering
  3. Review the finish and provide drying advice

Advice for Newly Plastered Surfaces

Allow fresh plaster to dry fully before decorating. Reasonable ventilation helps, while strong direct heat can dry the surface unevenly. Drying time depends on thickness and room conditions, so follow the appropriate preparation guidance for the paint or wallpaper you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plastering in Hainault

Can you make good after renovation work?

Yes, we can discuss plastering after alterations and repairs. Ideally, disruptive or dusty work should be completed before the final finish is applied.

What if the wall has a damp patch?

Moisture can have different causes, so it is important not to simply cover a damp area. The cause should be considered before damaged plaster is repaired.

Can you skim plasterboard?

Plasterboard can be finished when it has been installed and prepared correctly. Board condition, joints and fixings affect the work required.

How do I prepare a room?

Where possible, move smaller items and valuables away from the work area and provide access to the walls or ceiling. Mention delicate fittings in advance.
